Glade's honored by Chamber Steve Hardman . EDITOR The secret's in the sauce, as the old saying goes. Brent Johnston of Glade's was honored by the Spanish Fork/Salem Chamber of Commerce on Friday, Feb. 16 as the Business of the Month. Johnston has owned the Spanish Fork restaurant since 1977. Named for it's previous owner, Glade Schwartz, Glade's is an important area landmark, having provided great food to locals and visitors alike for well over a quartercentury. It's hometown atmosphere, menu and service take customers back to simpler times. And while it's nostalgia is refreshing, it is the food that keeps folks coming back. According to Johnston, good old-fashioned hamburgers are his mainstay, and his fish and chips and homemade sherbet ice cream are also local favorites. He started making the sherbet about 25 years ago and his flavors include lime, orange, pina colada and others. "Ieateverything,"Johnston said. "If I didn't like it, I wouldn't make it." Although he did admit to favoring the double cheeseburger. But the best seller, Johnston said, isn't really a food. It's a condiment: Glade's1 famous white sauce. "People love our white sauce," he said. "They come from all over to get it." One of the main ingredients in the sauce is mayonnaise, and according to Johnston, Glade's uses over 300 pounds of mayo each week. That's 40 gallons! That also means he's selling plenty of fries to go with it. Over the previous three decades, Johnston has employed a lot of people. "My best customers are my former employees," he said. One of those employees, Janet Hansen — a "great employee" — has been with Johnston for as long as he has owned the business. Maybe the secret is in more than just the sauce.
